In my office there is an ad I tore out of the Economist way back when e was still at The Company, so I know it has been in here for years.

An Autobahn and six weeks paid vacation. Clearly Germany has its priorities straight. Porsche ad from the Economist

Funniest moment in today's department meeting: Tom (manager) changes topic to "meeting efficiency" and waits ten minutes for Kerim and Jennifer to stop yammering about something which is of no interest to anyone else.

Amanda's fresh new look is making think that it might be time for a new default user icon. I think that it should reflect my resurgent interest in computer geekdom and should probably reference some White Dactyl lore.

Here is my current one:

i was thinking that maybe i should use all that added icon space for some fancy new default icon.
anonymous gifts are awesome!

I like it too, but I feel like it is overly representative of a weird phase in my life.

For now though I don’t think I will change it until I have something cool to change too.

i am having a hard time coming up with interesting ideas to fill up my fifteen icon allotment!

You should make a phone post while you are contemplating it.
